Projects Momma found a 59 merc wagon she wants...

Its a 59 Commuter 4 dr Wagon.

My pickup should be on the road soon, but only being a 2 seater, we want something we can carry the whole famn-damily in. Seing this seats 9, we should all be able to fit

The body is in really straight shape, except for a few shopping cart dings. The passenger side "panel" glass is smashed. If someone knows where i could find one, please let me know. THe 383 merc motor is seized, although the owner doesnt know how badly. All the fluid appeared clean, so maybe with a little work we can get her turning. Not sure if we are going to do a motor swap. Kim said she wants something she can take anywhere, so something with parts availabilty might be in order. SHe made mention of driving it to the drags, so i might have my work cut out for me.

Here's a pic of the beast, what do you think?

It's a real beauty, could be alot worse, but the engine being seized is not good.

 

She could drive that for the next 200 years and never have another one pull up next to her at a stop light. Cool.

 

Buy it!!!!

 

Really like this one!!

 

grab it...family cruiser...cool!!!!!

 

I dig it!

 

Hardtop station wagon. That is cool!

 

We just made a panel wagon out of a '58 Ford Country Sedan Wagon and I have good glass for the rear sides from than. I suspect they are the same. Where are you located?

 

ya know, it's so hideous it's cool.

 

Here is a slideshow of our Half Fast Wagon in progress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5saVbHh4kmc

 

Thanks for thinking of us outotime, but the rear glass on the wagon wraps around.

I was hoping yours would work, I need an excuse to go to Austin!!

 

Very cool and it will fill all your needs.

I like it ! Thats a rare car. I bet you can free the engine, just soak it with a gas and oil mix. And be carefull

 

Buy it .....long roofs rule...........

 

if it's a four door hardtop like in those ads that is super cool, wood panels even better.

 

Couple more pics. I think it has potential!

 

Go get it! hah

 

Mama has good taste.

 

sweet I've always liked the wagon model, let me know if you need any help I'm really into 59's.

another "yes" vote-- love those cars. Like a '58 ford but funkier.

 

Oh yeah!! I love the Merc wagons! Make it dependable and she will dig it too.
My chic loves "her" wagon and drives it more than I do! It's been on two Hot Rod Power Tours, and long hauled both of them with a kid. To Austin a couple times and a bunch of other hauls too.
DO IT!!

 

ive tried to talk my wife into something like this. she would rather drive a saturn. at least its american.

thats a nice looking wagon. i would say swoop it up.

 

There is nothing like a slammed 50s station wagon,on some fat whit walls,its goona look killer!

 

If it's been sitting on that grass for very long, I would have a good look at the floors. Grass loves to eat metal things.

 

a most awesome grocery getter hope you score it
